Introduction

Manipulation is an incredible art form that allows people to get what they want when they want it effortlessly. Because it requires a basic understanding of human psychology and the skills to manipulate human psychology, many people wrongfully believe that manipulation is difficult and requires years of study and practice. The reality is quite the opposite.

If you want it to be, manipulation can be an easy and effective strategy to help you get anything you want in life. Whether you want to win over more clients, earn a better salary at work, borrow money, crash on someone’s couch for a night, negotiate better deals, or anything else, manipulation is a great way to make that happen.

Forget the outdated belief that manipulation is cruel or conning. The truth is: manipulation is a powerful negotiating tool that allows you to stay in the driver’s seat and command anything you want in life. The days of using guilt and fear are long gone, as manipulation has officially become a powerful tool to use in business and life in general. If you want to be a true master manipulator, it is extremely simple and causes no feeling of guilt or shame in you or your target. Instead, it is a mere tool that you use to get what you want when you want it.

This book will help you learn how you can be a master of manipulation and get anything you want. You will read about the three steps of manipulation, including analysis, manipulation, and persuasion. You will also be given very clear facts about why each step is necessary, how it works, and what is required to make it work. Each technique you are given will be clearly explained, and in some, you are also given real-life examples to ensure that you completely understand why and how they work. This will allow you to see them in action so that you can become inspired to use them in your own daily life.

If you want to command your life, get what you want, and get to where you want to go, manipulation is a necessary strategy to master. However, there is no need to master all the techniques completely. To get the most out of your practice, you simply need the ones that have already been outlined in this easy guide book. Once you master these and begin putting them into practice, you will be able to manipulate people like a pro. The best part is: no one will even know that you are doing it. It will seem as though your target is the one making all the decisions, even though you’re the one secretly pulling the puppet strings to make it happen. If you are ready to learn how to, let’s begin!

Chapter 1: What Is Manipulation?

Manipulation is using people’s emotions and behavioral traits deliberately to obtain what is desired. Manipulators use their ability to understand others and get what they want by using trickery, misdirection, persuasion, charm, and coaxing.

In the mind of a manipulator, he or she thinks, I can change people’s behavior and let them give me what I want. Skilled manipulators can even come out of a situation when they get caught trying to use other people to their advantage.

A manipulator tends to create a certain level of strain in a situation. They use multiple techniques to mold their personality according to their goals. A manipulator can make you feel on top of the world or the worst person on this planet. It all depends on how that manipulator wants you to act.

Manipulation, as a concept, involves two parties. One is the manipulator, and the other is manipulated. While manipulators are extremely aware of their surroundings, some personalities tend to ignore that. People who are emotionally vulnerable or don’t have a clear mindset tend to get manipulated.

Generally speaking, everyone manipulates without knowing. Lying or hiding the complete story are two common ways of manipulation; however, manipulators live these tactics as a way of life. They use various tactics as their tools to fool you into doing what they want.

That’s why you need to understand all types of manipulation and, more importantly, learn how to address it positively in different aspects of your life.

Chapter 2: How Manipulation Works

When you are manipulating a person, you start with a step known as analysis. This is where you use the practice of analyzing a person’s behavior, personality, attitude, vocabulary, and voice practices to learn more about who they are. This enables you to personalize your strategy specifically to what drives and encourages that person to think or feel in a specific way. It is important that you complete this step as you will have greater success bypassing their conscious desire for fight or flight in uncomfortable situations and, instead, learn to make them feel more comfortable and confident around you. Then, you can use this comfort and confidence to help them see why saying yes to your offer or request would be more valuable than saying no.

Manipulation is part of the overall process. This comes later in the conversation after you have already persuaded someone to see why you are a trustworthy and genuine person. You use manipulation strategies to help you know how to effectively word something so that people are more inclined to say yes to what you want them to say yes to, rather than simply saying no to anything you ask or offer to them.

Persuasion starts before manipulation happens, but it lasts well after manipulation has taken place too. Persuasion is the practice where you create a sense of similarity and relatability between yourself and your target. This is your opportunity to help them see why you are trustworthy and genuine and to help build rapport between yourself and them. Then, once you have made your request using manipulation tactics, you can use persuasion to help encourage the person to see why you are right and why they should agree with what you have asked or offered.

Manipulation can be used in many different forms. You can use it when you are shopping or in business to negotiate better deals. You can use it when you are making sales to encourage a greater return on your sales. It can be used when you are looking to get something for free, borrow something, or otherwise have a favor granted or really at any other time. Manipulation is a powerful tool that can make it effortless to get what you want.

Different Types of Manipulation

If you aren’t aware enough, manipulators can use many techniques to control you. They change their approach depending on the victim’s personality, so they first observe you and learn your core personality traits. At the core, you can be a loving person, a lonely person, naive, or too confident.

With personality observation, manipulators create their tactic to attack you. Here are different types of manipulation that you need to become aware of:

1. Hiding the complete story

You can notice this in your office, parties, and other conversations taking place around you. Some people hide certain portions of stories to create a diversion. The listener of the story gets to know what the manipulator wants him or her to know.

What if a colleague in your office tells you how others are bitching about you! It is
